Graphical animation of object-oriented software designs (abstract)
Marko Heikkinen, Petri J. Pulli · 1992
We have built an extension to a prototype CASE tool called ESPEX, that makes it possible to execute graphically Wassermans Object-Oriented Structured Design (OOSD) notation. The tool itself is implemented in the Smalltalk 80 programming environment. The tool contains a window-based menu-driven graph editor and an integrated graph simulator with animation support. Animation means that the movements of data items and messages between objects are visualized on a workstation display.
